The Pain Points of Hospital Management: Slow Discharge and Bed Turnover

In hospitals, patient discharge and bed preparation are often time-consuming and cumbersome processes. Typically,
medical staff need to manually verify patient information, prepare documents, and notify cleaning staff, which can take
anywhere from 20 minutes to 4 hours. This not only impacts the patient experience but also reduces the overall
operational efficiency of the hospital.

Aide Solution: Low-Cost RFID Wristbands

Aide’s RFID patient discharge management system automates the discharge process using passive UHF RFID
wristbands and smart readers. Here’s how it works:
  • At Admission: Each patient is given an RFID wristband embedded with a unique ID code linked to the hospital’s bed management system.
  • At Discharge: The patient simply removes the wristband and places it into a smart reader. The system automatically updates the bed status and notifies cleaning staff to prepare the bed.
  • Full Automation: No manual intervention is required. The system handles data updates and notifications, significantly reducing patient wait times and easing the workload for medical staff.

Why Is This Technology So Efficient?

Low Cost, Easy Deployment: Compared to traditional Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS), Aide’s solution requires
minimal infrastructure investment, making it more cost-effective and easier to deploy.
  • Seamless Integration: The RFID wristbands integrate seamlessly with existing hospital patient management systems, ensuring real-time data updates and accuracy.
  • Improved Efficiency: By automating the process, bed status updates are completed over 90% faster than traditional systems, significantly improving bed turnover rates.

A Win-Win for Hospitals and Patients

For hospitals, this technology not only enhances operational efficiency but also reduces the time medical staff spend on
administrative tasks, allowing them to focus more on patient care. According to research by the UK’s National Library of
Medicine, medical staff spend only 40% of their time directly caring for patients, with the remaining 60% devoted to other
tasks. RFID technology has the potential to change this dynamic.
For patients, the discharge process becomes smoother, wait times are drastically reduced, and the overall healthcare
experience is significantly improved.

Future Applications: Beyond Discharge Management.

Aide’s RFID technology isn’t limited to patient discharge management. It can also be applied in emergency rooms,
radiology departments, and other scenarios. For example:
  • Emergency Rooms: Detect if patients leave before receiving treatment.
  • Radiology Departments: Ensure patients complete necessary preparations, such as dye injections, before scans.
  • Patient Tracking: Use RFID technology to track patient movements within the hospital and send automated notifications to family members.

The Future of Healthcare Management Is Here

RFiD Discovery’s RFID solution brings revolutionary changes to hospital management. It not only addresses the
challenges of patient discharge and bed management but also opens up more possibilities for future healthcare
management. As the technology continues to advance, RFID is expected to be adopted in more hospitals and
medical scenarios, further improving the efficiency and quality of healthcare services.
